Wake Forest Demon Deacons Set to Host Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum
As the Wake Forest Demon Deacons prepare to welcome the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, fans are anticipating a competitive clash in women's basketball. The upcoming game, scheduled for January 21st, will showcase the Demon Deacons' recent performance trends and how they might leverage their home court advantage.
The Demon Deacons have shown resilience in their past games. Despite a challenging matchup against Georgetown where they scored only 44 points with a field goal percentage of approximately 26 percent and three-point percentage of around 25 percent, they bounced back in their latest game against Marshall with an impressive victory. In that encounter, Wake Forest tallied up 66 points and significantly improved their shooting accuracy with a field goal percentage close to 47 percent and an exceptional three-point shooting performance at approximately 46 percent.
Defensively, Wake Forest has been robust; they managed to block seven shots against Marshall while also securing a total rebound count of 46 compared to Marshall's 30. This defensive solidity could be crucial when facing Notre Dame.
Offensively, there is room for improvement as turnovers have been an issue for the team. In their last two wins over Norfolk State and Marshall, turnovers were high at 16 and 24 respectively. However, it's worth noting that even with these turnovers, Wake Forest still emerged victorious which speaks volumes about their ability to win under pressure.
Playing at home should give the Demon Deacons an extra boost. The support from local fans can be influential in tight games where every possession counts. With recent victories under their belt and playing on familiar ground where they've shown strong defensive capabilities coupled with improving offensive execution, Wake Forest looks poised for another solid performance.
Fans eager to support the Demon Deacons can catch them in action on January 21st at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum or tune into local broadcasts for live coverage of what promises to be an exciting game filled with strategic plays and intense competition.
